For Referring Physicians

We work with a large number of Primary Care, Internal Medicine, and other Physician specialties for hernia care. We take your referrals as the highest compliment we can receive. For Referring Physicians in our area, we are happy to meet with you in your office.

Not all hernia surgeons and hernia techniques are created equal. Many surgeons only offer open repair, or only laparoscopic repair. Some surgeons still use techniques and mesh materials that have been in use for 20 years without adopting new and improved technology. By choosing to have treatment at California Hernia Specialists, patients and their healthcare providers can ensure the most consistent and highest quality care.

Important Points To Consider When Choosing Your Hernia Surgeon:

Be sure to find a surgeon who focus’ on hernias, makes them a priority in their practice, tracks their patient outcomes and publishes that data for future patients to review. This will help you choose a quality surgeon for your care.
Ensure your surgeon performs a high volume of hernia surgeries. No one in any field can be proficient if they are only doing something a couple of times a month.
Being treated at a specialized hernia center with an in-house accredited Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) provides the highest quality care before, during, and after your hernia surgery and allows for more successful outcomes.

Patients should be seen by a surgeon who can offer all forms of hernia surgery, including open lightweight mesh techniques, as well as advanced laparoscopic techniques. This ensures your surgeon can offer the best technique tailored for your case.
Most laparoscopic patients experience less pain postoperatively and often can return to normal activities sooner. Laparoscopic hernia surgery can result in better patient experiences for some patients.
The newest, advanced lightweight mesh reduces not only the recurrence rate for your hernia, but also the chance of postoperative mesh pain.
